He's trying to see how far he can push his bullshit.
That's the thing though, to my knowledge Twitter didn't break any laws, they ignored an order to take down accounts from their website. You could make the argument that in ignoring that order they were going against the law, but that's about it. And honestly, that's not the first time that has happened, this time they just decided to block Twitter because Musk was being a little shit about it, again maybe this will serve as a precedent in the future.
Ignoring a ruling from a judge is against the law, in any country.
Sure, but there are those who say Moraes is overstepping with his demands. Quite frankly I don't know what to say, all I know is that any loss for Musk is a win for me.
🤷♂️
This decision will go through collective decision on STF, soon will not be only Moraes decision.
Totally agree on that.
